A Confession
I've wanted to talk about this for a while, but haven't had the strength to admit it. I've become a frequenter of a certain website that I need to stay away from. It's no good for me. I have doubts whether anyone should frequent it, but I can't stop. The website has pictures of things you wouldn't believe. Pictures of things that no one would ever think to take pictures of. The website in question is that of Lone Star Auctions. This is the website used by local police stations, school districts, and other government agencies to dispense of confiscated or surplus property. I'm continuously drawn there to see what new thing I can find. A lot of 30 broken school desks? A lot of 8 miscellaneous cell phones dating back 10 years? A dump truck? I've seen all of them for sale and more. Pallets of cafeteria trays, sound mixing equipment, stuffed deer heads. The merchandise varies from the mundane to the truly bizarre. For example...

Look closely. Yes indeed. That is a Cleveland Steamer. For sale!!! Who would have ever thought you could buy a Cleveland Steamer on the internet. I'm disgusted. And compelled.

Is it being sold by Hot Carl?
Guess I'll Google Cleveland Steamer.
Okay, wish I hadn't.
Your mom reads this you know.
Plug, I appreciate your sensitivity, but I was elated to hear of the web site. It looks like a natural for Jaz and me, Queens of the Estate Sales and bidding wars. However, now I'm wondering since I found this info. also.

On the other side, I can't figure out what that machine has to do with the slang definition of Cleveland Steamer. Is this a cooker for frankfurters or sausages? Just asking?
Nate is hilarious.
The auction sounds cool. I just wasn't thrilled with my brother.
Happy Birthday!
Man, do I feel left in the dark. However, I don't think I should be looking up Cleaveland Steamer from work, based on the comments here. I'm pretty sure I shouldn't even be looking at this website from work...
The dark was a much nicer place to be.
Thankfully, Oyster was not in the room when I googled, "Cleaveland Steamer." However, she is wondering if you can pick up our purchases from the Dallas area when we are the highest bidder. She wants to get a bracelet and necklace--and a lot of 80 miscellaneous chairs--and some dexterity training equipment.
They have 12-Step programs for this.
yay!!!
